Message text: Number of columns for ranked list increased to &
When defining a ranking list, the number of columns needed to output a
line of the ranking list was found to be larger than the number of
columns defined as list format. The number of columns was therefore
increased to the necessary size.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
DO NOT set the number of columns for the list format back to a smaller
value. The report generator of the ABAP Query sets the number of
columns to the required size. In this case the number of columns
displayed in the "Title, Format" screen is not the same as the number
of columns of the generated report.
